perf_counter: Report the cloning task as parent on perf_counter_fork()
A bug in (9f498cc
: perf_counter: Full task tracing) makes profiling multi-threaded apps it go belly up. [ output as: (PID:TID):(PPID:PTID) ] # ./perf report -D | grep FORK 0x4b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3237):(3236:3236) 0xa10 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3238):(3236:3236) 0xa70 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3239):(3236:3236) 0xad0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3240):(3236:3236) 0xb18 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3241):(3236:3236) Shows us that the test (27d028d
perf report: Update for the new FORK/EXIT events) in builtin-report.c: /* * A thread clone will have the same PID for both * parent and child. */ if (thread == parent) return 0; Will clearly fail. The problem is that perf_counter_fork() reports the actual parent, instead of the cloning thread. Fixing that (with the below patch), yields: # ./perf report -D | grep FORK 0x4c8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1590):(1589:1589) 0xbd8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1591):(1590:1590) 0xc80 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1592):(1590:1590) 0x3338 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1593):(1590:1590) 0x66b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1594):(1590:1590) Which both makes more sense and doesn't confuse perf report anymore.
